If your curls are always coated in products, it can be hard to tell what your shampoo and conditioner are really doing… so I stripped everything back to find out.
In this video, we dive deep into Olaplex's new Bond Shaper Technology and their 3D curl repair claims, including:
* 7-day hydration
* reduced frizz claims
* curl definition and strength
* and whether this new curl system actually performs on real curls
I Tested OLAPLEX Curl Shampoo & Conditioner on “NAKED CURLS”… Here’s the Truth I tested the NEW OLAPLEX Curl Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner on completely *naked curls* — no stylers, no leave-in, no gel — to see what’s actually happenin...
Now I understand the bee in your bonnet saying ..😂
It’s official, summer is here. Cue the protective hair routines….. insect repelling 🚫🐝
How else will I wear the bonnet? Hmmm….
Honey, I’m so confident in this routine I can use products I’ve never tried and STILL get the results I want.
It’s all about the method 🎀
📣Say it with me: 👏PREP 👏STYLE 👏FINISH !!
1️⃣ prep. Clarifying shampoo to remove any buildup causing the hair to be stiffened. Then a deeply hydrating hair mask (really liking this one from !!)
For maaximum product pe*******on, turn the heat up and add some steam. has a microwaveable steam cap that stays warm for up to 20min.
Don’t use that cold water nonsense. Rinse your conditioner with warm water but also dont loaft after — start styling right away or at least apply your leave in conditioner while the hair is deeply nourished, layer on the moisture. I love a spray to thoroughly saturate my hair, and the the water boi is one of my go-to’s (also for its incredible scent)
2️⃣style. Pick your own adventure based on your texture. Coarse, thick hair that needs more control and cushioning, apply a curl cream. Then for more hold and body, apply a volumizing mousse if desired — you can also target 🎯specific areas of you don’t want too much mousse because aerosols are too drying. First time using btw!
Fine haired curlies, you can skip the curl cream and just use mousse if you’ve properly prepped.
Brush style with the right tool according to your texture and desired results. I’m so obsessed with the new volume brush I’m going to give them away to you!
Diffusing is non-negotiable if you want bounce. Minimize frizz and hair damage with my trustee supersonic r
3️⃣ finish. Use a hair oil/serum while the hair is dry, but not dried out* to actually help lock in the moisture and provide overall softness.
And if you’ve gone too soft off the deep end, apply hairspray or dry texture spray (this one is from )
If it sounds like a lot I promise it’s not because do it once and do it right, it will last you 3+ nights (with the proper overnight protection )
Don’t follow any of these instructions if you want crunchy hair, but do follow me for more curly hair routines,
Pro tip: sleep with your gel cast to keep your curls even better the next day and NEVER skip those bedtime affirmations…
My mom’s annual curl day — 2026 routine🌀
Back and easier than last year; because as much as I love doing her hair, I want HER to feel confident enough to achieve this on her own. With summer coming up, fighting curls in the midst of heat and humidity doesn’t make sense. This is the best routine for longevity, bounce, and shine.
